...Stever, has been for years and years the Classic Yale man of fiction, and whose adventures at Mory's in the Old Brick Row, in Professor Beer's classes and at Harvard football games, in those days played at Springfield, have been familiar to countless readers since the middle '90s, will shortly appear upon the screen and over the radio in strictly modern dress. No longer a part of the New Haven tradition of bulldogs and turtle-necked sweaters, when the original Mortaritya and their golden lucks were a fragrant reality and when fence rush and freshman fraternities both flourished...
Perhaps Florence Crabbe may not believe it, but it is true that when James Montgomery Flagg attended the Art Students' League during the '90s he was spoken of as "The Beautiful Youth," and with no sarcasm attached to it either. I must confess that when I looked at the cut in the March 21 issue of TIME I could hardly realize that he was the same Flagg who used to attract so much attention for his good looks, the Flagg with the straight, slender figure and the quiet manner touched with just a bit of blaze...

The spectacle of funny, plump Victor Frederick Moore (Princess Charming, Hold Everything) in a fire chief's hat is worth the price of admission...
Cincinnatians will take note that for the opening scene of her new book, Fannie Hurst has taken care, as is her custom, to have a letter-perfect local nomenclature- Alms & Doepke, Shillito's, Pogue's, Rook-wood Pottery, Eden Park, Avondale. Her story starts in the '90s, when "Over the Rhine" boasted many a beer-garden and German delicatessen dish. Ray Schmidt was good-looking, a blonde whom drummers, even happily married, invariably tried to lure into sin. Everyone liked her and thought the worst.
